Ok cheers Matt, yeah had to order last night unfortunately.
Might have gone a bit short on Box A to B and Battery to B. Should be able to return them easily though. All other lengths should be good.
Another few questions whilst you're here...
1 - What is the max tyre size the 51cm can run on 26" wheels with guards?
2 - On the Isen frames does junction B lodge in the downtube or seat tube?Ta
Saffronspokes-
For 2, it can be either, I found the downtube easier though as it is a larger diameter tube.
Some points from my setup
- As the bb is just a BSA threaded there isn't a lot of room around the axle shell for cables, so try to keep things tidy.
- Fair of forceps can be very useful with getting the internal routing working
- Kind of have to force di2 cable through port on chainstay. This required some force due to the size of the hole and the small tube diameter here to get it around the bend. Then you push cable through and fish for it through the BB shell.
- Due to location on chainstay on BB shell the hole for the routing is within the threads for the BB cup. Try to use a shallow bb cup without too many threads. For example, I couldn't use the Chris King BB I had as it'd shear the di2 cable, so went with a shimano one instead.

- Let me not answer you directly again ;)
It really depends on tyre and rim choice. I'll check what caren is running when I get in, but she's got some bon pass compass tyres on stans rims, I think they're 2"? What do you want to run, I'll see what we've got to test, I can also measure nominal max on your frame, but it doesn't tell you everything. - I'd go dt as it's easier to cram in there.

Sorry, we weren't being willfully obtuse, it's just that there are so many different things that effect the lengths! You're best bet as mentioned above is waiting until bike is built, but if you've got to order them now you might as well go a bit longer, and run the risk of needing to return.
Box a to b is 1600mm
Battery to b 1300mm
Fr mech to b is 350mm
Rr mech to b is 650mm
Shifters to a would be 350mm each side
Above is working on the assumption that you are running a under stem junction a box. If you're getting a bike shop to build it I'd run this passed them as they may have their own ideas about routing, which will effect length.
